The correct answer is C. Using context clues

Explanation:

"Context clues" refer to the hints or clues provided by other words about an unknown or challenging word. In reading, using context clues is one of the most common strategies as in most cases the author of a text provides context clues of different types such as synonyms, antonyms, definitions, examples, etc. related to unknown words and these allow the reader to understand the text without using an external source such as a dictionary. Additionally, the use of context clues is about looking at the words and phrases that surround the unknown word to try to understand the unfamiliar word. Therefore, if you look at other words in order to determine the meaning of a challenging word you are using context clues.

How to make a distance-time graph

nadya68 [22]

To make a distance-time graph, put time on the horizontal axis and distance on the vertical axis. Time is the independent variable, and distance is the dependent variable because its value changes based on what the time is.
For example, this is the graph of a person going for a walk. From 0 min to 10 min they are walking slowly, then from 10 min to 15 min they stop and take a break. From 15 min to 20 min they walk more quickly, then stop again at 20 min. The steeper the slope, the more quickly it is moving, and if the slope is 0 (horizontal line), it is not moving.
